Etsy is quickly dominating the accessories market, and is becoming the #1 resource for everything creative and handmade. Here are ten adorable Etsy stores that I cant seem to stay away from.

Elizabeth Heard/ If you haven't already heard about my obsession with this store, see here! I love love love her hair clips and have been wearing them all summer long. 

Loves Affect/ Carly has adorable jewelry that I see popping up every where I turn. She does pastel like no one else and I love all of the tassel pieces. 

Yimi Jewelry/ Gorgeous boho jewelry with Texan flair, I basically love everything from the Yimi and the owner is the biggest #girlboss that I know. The bracelet pictured above, is one of my all time favorites and gets worn season after season.

Happily Ever After Tees/ A must see for any Disney junkie. 

Stuck Together Shop/ Im really bias here because the shop owner (Marisa) is one of my good friends. However with that said she is also one of the most talented crafters I have ever met and has been making elaborate collages since the day I met her (starting with high school binder covers). I am so proud to share her shop. The pineapple and flamingo pieces are my favorites! I have a flamingo framed in my living room.

Kellembell/ Kelly is not only a wonderful human but a talented necklace maker as well! Her fabric necklaces and bracelets are colorful and bold and can even be monogrammed to suit any event. I myself own three!

Annechovie/ Ginger jars, hot pink, and adorable matchbooks galore, I will take one of each please!

Felt Like Paper/ This shop has cutest little itty bitty seed bead bracelets! I love to stack them up in the summer like the threaded friendship bracelets I used to make at sleep away camp.

Pup Tart Handmade/ Pineapple pillows, watermelon pouces, banana handbags, cactus pillows and much much more. 

Free Forme/ Inexpensive watches in uber fun prints! The shipping takes awhile as they are made outside the United States, but these make wonderful inexpensive gifts for just about anyone. Oh! and that strap color can be personalized 

The list of shops is grows daily and I always love to find more! Leave the link to your favorite Etsy stores in the comments and I will be sure to check them out.

PSA: The dress I am wearing in this outfit...is actually a 20$ nightgown (at least according to Target)

Outfit Details: Palm Print "Dress"(a total bargain!)/ Birkenstocks (aka the only shoes I've worn in weeks)/ Sun Hat (a new favorite!)/ Open Knit Sweater/ Gem Cuff (c/o)/ "Diamond" Ring

You see, we went on a little road trip for the long weekend and guess who forgot her bag at home?

Yup, me. And whats worse is my boyfriend must have said "don't forget your bag" at least 100x before we left. Embarrassing. 

One late night trip to the nearest Target was absolutely necessary. I grabbed what I needed and had to pick out something to wear for the next day. I didn't suspect that this would be a hard task considering all the times I've resisted the clothing section at target previously. 

What a nightmare. 

Nothing fit, everything was either an XXS or an XXL. And when I came out of the dressing room in a huff I finally spotted one dress across the aisle that I liked in my size. Long story short, the dress is actually a nightgown and is meant for sleeping.

Personally....I dig it it as a dress and will wear it as such. To each, their own. 

Hope you had a less stressful weekend than I did, Happy 4th!

Kicking this Monday off with my favorite puppy dog!

My favorite part of coming home? Walking my parents new pup, Scarlett. She is pretty darn cute (read: energetic) and grows larger every time I visit. When my parents got her she was about the size of a loaf of bread and now she can pull me across the street in whatever direction she chooses.

I love you Scarlett, please stop growing!

Beauty Details: Shadow Palette/ Lip Pencil/ Lip Color (super pigmented! love it!)/ Shadow Stick/ "Beach Stick" Blush (my favorite of the bunch!)/ Vintage Cinderella Poster

Charlotte Tilbury is a new to me beauty brand that is responsible for many a red carpet look. They have been carried in the Nordstrom Beauty Spot for awhile but, on Monday they launched a beauty counter in the Seattle Flagship. 

I was really tempted to zoom on up to Seattle for the event, but my workload made that just about impossible. The Charlotte Tillbury and Nordstrom teams were so thoughtful and sent up a sampling for me to test out and thus far I love everything! Its definitely "going out" makeup for me, but keep in mind my daily routine is pretty light. 

Two of the products really stand out to me! The lip color is gorgeous and the beach stick is something  I have never seen anywhere else! I feel like replacing blush permanently after using it. 

Have you ever used Charlotte Tillbury products before?
